Marriage Equality Sign Vandalized North of Albertville
A free-standing sign on a trailer was spray painted to convey a much different message some time Wednesday night.
The huge, orange sign along Wright County Road 19 north of Albertville has been hard to miss for the past several months.
With its huge "Vote No" in blue lettering, it's a bit different than much of the message behind the so-called Marriage Amendment vote in this mostly conservative, Catholic community. An informal sampling by St. Michael Patch showed "Yes" signs out-numbering "No" by a 5-to-1 margin.
The sign, on the back of a black trailer, was struck by vandals some time Wednesday night or early Thursday, with the "No" message crossed out and replaced by a "Yes" lettering in spray paint.
